### 5/5 — Easy to remember words!

*2019-07-02*

I started on this app when my now husband and I were dating... he speaks Lao! I learned a lot of phrases on here that I use with my mother in law. The best practice is to speak directly with someone but When I’m alone I get on this and I remember a lot of phrases from the first time I used it! It might be really proper words that people don’t use but it’s a start somewhere.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2015-05-11*

App didn't provide sound on any of the words I tried nor for the audio lesson.  I'd be willing to try again if this was fixed. Format seems easy if it had audio.

### 4/5 — Lao Learner

*2013-10-27*

Great app to Learn basic Lao phrases. It has sound for some words, but not all, but it helps with the most simple ones like numbers and greetings. I recommend to anyone visiting Laos or learning the language to take a look at this app.

### 1/5 — Disappointing app!

*2013-07-07*

My family speaks the language fluently, so i've been wanting to learn. It turns out many of the phrases are actually Thai and some have very awkward vocabulary, some of the big phrases can be said in much simpler words. Some if the grammar I completely off as well. Also, the foreigner in the audio says "penis" multiple times instead of "I". It should be mentioned that the inflection is very important when speaking Lao. One slip and you're saying a completely different word.

### 5/5 — Very surprised

*2012-01-06*

I love the fact that there is a Laotian app but it is very limited. Please don't make this a useless app cause we already have alot of people that aren't interested in the people and country and cause we definitely need people to understand us better in order help Lao people so we don't lose our culture and language like the American Indians!!!

### 2/5 — Stuff

*2011-11-16*

I know way more words that aren't in here but I downloaded it since my grandparents moved back to Laos and I forgot ALOT of words.

### 5/5 — LAO RULES!!!

*2011-09-05*

This app is the Besttt!

### 1/5 — Useless

*2010-08-28*

This app is a waste of time. It contains only a handful of poorly pronounced phrases, and audio "lesson" that only reiterates the same information, and the numbers one through ten.

### 4/5 — Drug phrases??

*2010-02-12*

Very simplistic app, but I highly doubt you'll need to learn to say "Those drugs don't belong to me." if you travel to Laos.  You may need to learn to day it in Thai if you were to go to Bangkok.

### 4/5 — Needs more content!

*2010-02-04*

So far the app is great. My boyfriend is Lao so it's really helpful as I'm trying to learn Laotian to speak with his family, etc. I know quite a bit more words than is even on here, but the listening helps a lot. There REALLY needs to be more content!! It would be an amazingggg app if so :)
